Decision released October 29, 1985
Appeal from the decision of the defendant department of liquor control approving an application to remove certain liquor permit premises, brought to the Superior Court in the judicial district of Waterbury and tried to the court, Lavery, J.; judgment dismissing the appeal, from which the plaintiffs appealed to this court which remanded the matter with direction to sustain the plaintiffs' appeal; following the granting of certification, the Supreme Court granted the defendants' motions for judgment and remanded the matter to this court with direction to affirm the judgment of the trial court. Remanded with direction.
On September 25, 1984, this court reversed a Superior Court decision which had dismissed the plaintiffs' appeal from a decision of the department of liquor control. Breen v. Department of Liquor Control, 2 Conn. App. 628, 481 A.2d 755 (1984). On November 7, 1984, the Supreme Court granted the defendants' petitions for certification. Breen v. Department of Liquor Control, 194 Conn. 808, 483 A.2d 1098 (1984). On October 1, 1985, the Supreme Court granted motions for judgment filed by the defendants. The defendants claimed in their motions that Public Acts 1985, No. 85-361, which became effective on June 27, 1985, rendered the issues in this case moot. The orders of the Supreme Court granting those motions are identical and read as follows: "[T]he judgment of the Appellate Court is set aside and the matter is remanded to the Appellate Court with direction to affirm the trial court's judgment dismissing the plaintiffs' appeal." Pursuant to and in conformity with those orders, the matter is remanded to the trial court with direction to dismiss the plaintiffs' appeal.
